Farrer In The Pulpit: A Systematic Introduction To His Sermons, Robert B. Slocum

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Austin Farrer, the hundredth anniversary of whose birth is celebrated this year, has been described as the greatest Anglican thinker of his generation.

Reframing The Fields, Robert Masson

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

The conception of metaphoric process elaborated by Mary Gerhart and Allan Russell illuminates a key mechanism often involved in the most significant advances in science and religion. Attention to this conceptual device provides a productive way to reframe the relationships and dialogues between the fields. The theory has compelling implications for reframing the understanding of theology and its task.

Celestial Choirmaster: The Liturgical Role Of Enoch-Metatron In 2 Enoch And Merkabah Tradition, Andrei Orlov

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

This article investigates the roots of Enoch-Metatron’s liturgical office of celestial choirmaster which plays a prominent role in the Merkabah tradition. Although references to this office of the exalted patriarch are absent in 1 Enoch, Jubilees, Genesis Apocryphon, and the Book of Giants, this article argues that the roots of Enoch-Metatron’s liturgical imagery can be traced to the Second Temple Enochic lore, namely to 2 Enoch, the Jewish apocalypse, apparently written in the first century CE. This article investigates a tradition found in 2 Enoch 18 where the translated patriarch encourages the celestial Watchers to …

The Metaphysics Of The Sublime: Old Wine, New Wineskin?, Philip J. Rossi

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

John Milbank’s and Phillip Blond’s narratives of modernity’s descent to nihilism identify the “metaphysics of the sublime” as a feature of modernity, assimilated from Kant’s critical project, that is particularly problematic for the robust post-modern Christian theology proposed in Radical Orthodoxy. This essay argues that the sublime is not the concept most fundamental to their account of Kant’s role in modernity. Far more important is the “phenomenon/noumenon” distinction, which Milbank and Blond read as a “two-world” distinction—an understanding that, despite a long history in Kant interpretation, is not Kant’s. It is less important, however, that constructive dialogue between Radical Orthodoxy …

Alexander Crombie (1762-1840) Über Die Rationalität Natürlicher Theologie, Ulrich Lehner

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Neben William Paley (f 1805) sind auch andere bedeutende englisch-schottische Denker des 19. Jahrhunderts der Tradition der ,Theologia Naturalis1 2 3 4 gefolgt, um den Materialismus von Hume, Laplace, d’Holbach wirksam zu bekämpfen. Unter diesen ist - fast vergessen - der schottische Philosoph Alexander Crombie (1762-1840)1 mit seinem Werk „Natural Theology“2. Crombie trug keine umfangreiche naturwissenschaftliche Stoffsammlung für einen physikotheologischen Gottesbeweis zusammen, wie dies in seiner Zeit durchaus üblich war und unter oft kuriosen Namen geschah3, sondern analysierte die Aussagen der Materialisten auf ihre Konsistenz und Kohärenz hin, um ihre „intellectual flaws“ aufzudecken.4 Sein über 1200 Seiten starkes Werk steht …

The Clash Of Christological Symbols: A Case For Meaphoric Realism, Robert Masson

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

In musical composition, a clash of cymbals signifies a dramatic moment in a passage. But its significance can vary. The force of brass plates can simply call attention to a phrase, voice, anthem, or transition in the arrangement. It can emphasize a thematic development, a musical notation anticipating a later twist or crescendo-or indicate that climax itself. It can signal a harmonious resolution of previous chords, or a rhapsody of dissonant voices. There are the occasions when a clash of cymbals heralds an extraordinary expression of musical creativity and genius: an adventitious musical gesture that brings together quite different voices …

On The Polemical Nature Of 2 (Slavonic) Enoch: A Reply To C. Böttrich, Andrei Orlov

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Adam's story occupies a prominent place in 2 Slavonic (Apocalypse of) Enoch. The traditions pertaining to the first human can be found in all the sections of the book. In these materials Adam is depicted as a glorious angelic being, predestined by God to be the ruler of the earth, but falling short of God's expectations. The article argues that the extensive presence of Adamic materials in 2 Enoch has a polemical nature since it is related to the long-lasting competition between Adamic and Enochic traditions. The analysis shows that the polemics taking place in 2 Enoch involve a …
